Hopefully Babies for Langarni Basenjis.

[Kipawa]

Yes, thinking of you all and hoping all is going well. My goodness - you are getting quite the wait. But what is it that is said? "Good things come to those who wait".

Well the news here is ….................................................NOTHING :D...

She ate breakfast and lunch, and is behaving VERY normally... The only slightly exciting thing is she does have a very small amount of colostrum/milk in the bottom 4 nipples, and while Kylie has said this is a good sign, and she may whelp in the next 24 hours, somehow Im not sure Ochre is going to be 'obeying' that rule :rolleyes:;):p...

Day 61 today, and I feel like I have been 'on hold' for weeks now !!!

So much for the 2 pieces of advice Ive had... 1) Most B girls go around day 60..., and 2) Most B girls with largish litters usually go early... YEAH right !!! Ochre obviously listened to both of those, and thought, "I will teach you Mum, for getting your hopes up far too early" :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Waiting, waiting, waiting :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Oh forgot to say, that the whelping box is now done... MR Saba has done a really good job, I think its the best one he has made :-). Will take a pic of it, (and Ochre, cos the babies will still be inside !!!), tomorrow and put it up...

[Elysium]

Oooooooooh - tomorrow we want to have puppy-pics!

Best wishes for the birth from Germany, too

[Schouiffy]

So excited for you. Hoping all goes well!!

[Shaye's Mom]

The wait is nearly over - can't wait to see the new puppy pics! Good and happy thoughts to Ochre - bet she is also ready to have it done!

[Patty]

Now the whelping box is ready - (if she approves!) Ochre may 'get on with it'.

'So much for the 2 pieces of advice Ive had… 1) Most B girls go around day 60..., and 2) Most B girls with largish litters usually go early... YEAH right !!! Ochre obviously listened to both of those, and thought, "I will teach you Mum, for getting your hopes up far too early" '

Never believe all you've been told!!!!!

I think you've got us all anxious - I click on every day hoping for the good news! (and photos!)

[Basenjimamma]

Come on Ochre…

[saba]

Still waiting, waiting, waiting…

BUT... Things might just be starting, although Im REALLY trying NOT to get my hopes up :rolleyes:...

She woke me this am with a bit of scratching around in the bedroom. She is VERY sooky, and watches my EVERY move... She only picked at breakfast, BUT ate all her lunch, (its 5.45pm here at the moment)...

She usually lies in front of the heater, but today all she has done is sleep VERY deeply, and has been on my chair all day, snoring her head off, happy to have lots of belly rubs, something she doesnt really like at all, she is very aloof !!!... Im hoping this might be the beginnings of stage 1 of the labour... Her tummy is as tight as a board today as well... I can feel lots of puppy playtime. We have taken pics of her, (and she was DISGUSTED, I can assure you ;)... Will put pics up in a few days, cos I cant do it, and Mr Saba is working tons of shifts :o

Will update as soon as things get going :)...

It sounds like she is close now!! So exciting, good luck with everything!!

[saba]

Well finally Ochre has had her little babies :D:D:D

Just as the x-ray said, she has had 6 gorgeous bubbies, 2 boys, 4 girls all red/white… Mum and babies doing very well. They are all nicely marked, weights between 197-256 grams... Delivered between 11.15pm, our time, and 3.15am, so she has done a great job popping them out :)...

Im proud as punch, our first Langarni litter, even if it did seem to take so very long to finally get here ;)...

Off to catch some zzzzzzzzzz, with one eye, and both ears open too

[Janneke]

Yeay!!! Congrats!! Well done Ochre!!! (and humans :D)

[tanza]

Well Done!!!!! Ochre (and I agree of course the humans to)…. nice group, 4 girls and 2 boys... Nice size (weight) range. Sounds like all when well!

[basi]

Congrats on the safe arrival of the babies:D

That would be my ideal size and sexes for my next litter but who knows!!

Enjoy your zzzzzz's

[Patty]

Hooray and congratulations to Ochre and of course yourselves. How nice to have mostly girls.

[thunderbird8588]

[Kipawa]

Well done Ochre (and family!)! Once you have caught a few zzzz's, please do take some pictures as we are waiting with baited breath to see them!
